I love cars fron 1914-28 era! I grew up using road maps to get places in the early 70's! Now my 36yr old son can't get anywhere if his cars GPS isn't working! We'd all be better off going back to the method you demonstrated! Great video!
Building my own 1927 right now. Just bought a touring body, and while I'm waiting to bring that up to Snuff, it will transition through a Speedster and a C-Cab Flatbed-Stake.
I love seeing people running the throttle on the wheel. It’s pretty convenient but the whole pedal thing was a bit to get used to. I prefer model a fords more but will still take my 23 dodge out
I currently have a 1912 Model T touring car, a 1915 Model T light delivery truck (under construction), a 1924 Model TT truck (also under construction), and a 1922 Studebaker Special Six. I sold the 1927 Model T touring car in this video earlier this year to fund the other projects.
That is one of many variations of what is called a "fat man" steering wheel. It is designed to swivel out of the way to make it easier for people of, shall we say, "ample proportions" to get behind the wheel of a Model T. There were many variations on this design.
I recently put up a video of an English Model T, a fella commented cooking of the manifold was a myth, whats your take over in America, these Model T look a lot of fun to be honest
Manifold cookers go back to the 20s at least. I'll see if I can find references. I've also heard of folks in the Great Depression Era attaching a metal lunch pail to the engine to make food on the go. My dad was a semi truck driver in the 1970s and 80s, and he cooked a lot of meals in aluminum foil on top of the block. I'd say as long as cars have existed, someone has thought of it.
@20thcenturyadventures thanks for that, I'd say it's genuine, the fella I met with a 1913 model T had a kit and used it, I think it's got to smrll good as you drive along
